Question

Chandru was a small farmer who was asked by the government to vacate his land as a result of the upcoming industries in the region. In the absence of an alternate means of income in the village, Chandru and his family migrated to a neighbouring village in search of agricultural land. What is this type of migration called?

• A. Seasonal migration
• B. Transhumance
• C. Involuntary migration
• D. External migration

Answer 1

The correct option is C Involuntary migration

Migration that is forced or is against the free will of individuals is called involuntary migration. In this context, Chandru was forced to sell his land to the government and to migrate as a result of the upcoming industrial projects and due to other push factors such as the lack of an alternate means of income in the village.
